In an episode that has been made timely by the presidential election in the U.S., Ben has a conversation with indie game developer Rami Ismail. Rami is also a Muslim and speaks very intelligently about the good, the bad, and the ugly representations of Muslims in video games and our culture at large.

Ben and podcast alum Khadeja Merenkov talk about being video game outsiders. Why do they apply their academic training in other fields to video games, and what have they learned in doing so? Listen to find out.

In what became a timely episode with the presidential election upon us, Ben and the president of Defined Lines, Caitlin Martin-Wagar, talk about rape culture and preventing sexual assault on college campuses. She also applies her experience to gamergate. Adult content warning: rape is discussed in this episode.

Your humble co-hosts apologize for their voices in this episode. We’re not sure what happened, but we sound like chipmunks whose voices skip. But don’t let that stop you from listening. We finally got a philosopher of games, C. Thi Nguyen, on this show about philosophy, theology, and nerd culture. He does most of the talking, and his audio sounds great! We talk video games, board games, the very concept of play, and even a little food writing. It is an accessible wide-ranging conversation.
